Hail To The Chief! President George W. Bush

This book is hard to put down. This book doesn't shy away from faults and truths, the reader draws their own conclusions. The book well describes the man, his motives, his faith in God, his love of family, his extreme love of the United States of America and ALL citizens!!! If you don't understand George W. Bush, this book will enlighten you to the heavenly Spiritual forces that guide him in all that he does. WE, as citizens should be proud we have a man that is in counsel with the Almighty before he makes a move. One of the best reads ever. Paul Kengor does an excellent job in expressing the character of our President. It IS NOT a boring book crammed with statistics. It is a thoughtful approach of dealing with todays issues and the man that will continue to govern our great country! Read the book, think for yourself, above all VOTE!

Well Worth The Read;)

Not the typical, boring political book. I was slam dunked by the touching elements contained within this book. It is written with a keen insight for detail, translated into tears, laughter and surprise. Not simply a book of details. One with the ability to draw the reader into a life the book takes on by itself, something a well written piece does. This writter is fair & nonjudgemental, allowing the reader to find the truths & faults within. Would read anything written by Paul Kengor, he's got style all his own!:) Pleasantly surprised:) Judge after you read, enlightening, interesting, holds ones attention.

More History, Less Spiritual Than I Expected

In book stores I see book after book dripping with venom about the President. The 'documetary' Fahrenheit 9/11 has picked up on every rumor and allegation that it seems any conspiracy buff can create and states them as fact. It was refreshing to see a book praising George w. Bush. Although the title would make you believe that this book is purely about the religious or spiritual aspects of Bush's life, in reading it I was surprised to find the amount of insider information that Paul Kengor had about the thinking process of the President as he decided to run for various offices and on issues such as the war in Iraq. This book, very slightly re-written and re-titled could be a, Inside the Bush Administrations Decision to go to War. It's only a year or two after these decisions are made that books like this one describe what really went on as opposed to the 30 second news spots and the never ending political commercials. Well worth reading as you make a decision about for whom to vote or in understanding the background of the war.

The truth about what makes G.W. tick is in this book.

This book told me exactly what I was hoping to find out about G.W. We have heard about his faith, but until I read the book I wasn't sure if it was a "real" faith. Dr. Kengor brought out why George Bush is the man we need in the Whitehouse for the times we are in. I was very curious to know if he actually humbles himself enough to ask for God's guidance in his decision making, and Dr. Kengor gave me my amswers. Great Read!

A Woderful Story That All Should Read (Even Bush Haters)

I could not put this book down. I started it after General Frank's book and I cannot remember two books back to back like these two that were as moving and motivational. We live in a very cynical time where a any politician's expression of God is eyed skeptically. In President Bush's case, this book demonstrates clearly, it is not an exaggeration to say that his faith became his moral compass and has lead to his moral clarity on the fight against terrorism. This book shows how President Bush has brought a sense of obligation to the Oval Office. From day one, according to aides, he has begun each day praying on his knees. Each morning he reads the Bible and studies from a guide that features a daily Bible lesson. Mr. Kengor demonstrates clearly how faith and prayer achieved a heightened importance with the president after September 11, 2001. It was the pivotal point in his presidency and his guiding light today. This was a very good read!
